Underpowered Shouts?

[masamune30]

theres a few console based solutions to your problem

 

tgm ;already mentioned but it eliminates delay between shouts
psb ;if you think that the shouts dont do enough damage then type this in console and take a look at all your new shouts, im sure one will work for you because theres like 12 dragon only versions of half the shouts
player.forceav shoutrecoverymult 0.1 ;this is a direct modification of the recharge time, in my experience going below 0.1 causes glitching but this makes it recharge in 1/10 the time, since it takes 10 min to recharge it only takes 1 now

 

if this isnt enough then i can almost guarentee that there will be a mod for shouts once the ck comes out and if there isnt somthing good within a week il make it myself.

and the famous "FUS ROH DAH!" is sorta useless too, I mean, you push your enemy really far away from you but it does no damage too so it was pretty much a waste because they will probably get up by the time you are close to them again,

Fight near a cliff edge, tall castle tower, mountain top etc. Get them in between you and edge. Then tell me the shout is useless. Unrelenting force is perhaps one of the most useful shouts ever. Heck, I've intentionally ran into a group of bandits, argo'ed them all and then ran to a tall place to do this. There is plenty of tall places in skyrim that you can this in, however like anything else, it's a situational shout.

 

FYI - I've killed 10 bandits all at once this way by knocking them off the cliff.

 

My personal favorite is the shout that slows down time. That combined with my quick reflexes perk with blocking a power attack means that I can sometimes literally kill 2-3 guys while they are going slow motion.

 

Have you tried shouting them into a hillside or wall? :thumbsup:

Personally I've come to love the Marked for Death shout, it's fun to see their health running out and then they just drop. Freezing them is fun too.

player.forceav shoutrecoverymult 0 - shouts will get 0 seconds cooldown. - default is 1. if you want cooldown above 0 but less then normal then anything between 0 and 1 is your pick. 0.5 is half the time.

damage shouts is useless. might do some damage early on, but as you start to lvl up its not worth to use. tho as mentioned earlier some of the other shouts is useful at all levels.

Not really, I tend to try to make them climb stairs or whatever, so when they get thrown down a few stories, they have to get up, and run all the way back up, giving me even more time to finish a few of them that I missed off. I shall try it though. :)

even on master they simply don't.

 

I've found archers are the only thing that pose a threat. They seem to do a lot more damage than those 2h mobs.

 

Shouts are useless? Strategy be dammed! I'm just going to rambo everything!

 

Rus Ro Dah - Blowing back an entire group of enemies to get you more distance to cast / shoot arrows? Nah - Going to complain that I get swarmed too easily.

Fire Breath - Free fire spell that catches targets on fire thus allowing you to cast a double casted Fireball for increased damage? Nope - Just going to complain about my mana problems.

Whirlwind Sprint - Free sprint? Very nice gap closer? Negative - Going to complain that archers destroy me.

Ice Form - Good way to lock down a boss to stop them from attacking? Naw - Those darn two handers destroy me, so I'm going to try and just dodge the attack and die. Then complain.

 

Just saying.

 

Putting words in other peoples mouths always works so well.

 

Why does everything have to do damage?

 

Its how you kill things. Skyrim is pretty big on killing things.

never use the forceav command on the player.

never use the forceav command on the player.

Why? I didn't because I don't care about shouts anyways lol :tongue:

[frapfap]

this will end all arguments

 

Nightengale Strife power > everything :D

 

suck 100hp out of them and gives it to you.

 

 

as for shouts, ive never had a use for them except for the end sequence and getting up to the hrothgar summit and s***.. other than that i use fus roh dah when in buildings to completely make a mess of it. for the lulz.

 

fus roh dah is much more convienient then shooting or kicking everything on the tables. makes quick work of making of a mess
